Just because your business is little, doesn’t mean that you don’t deserve the tools to grow it into something really amazing. 50% of small businesses fail in the first year (US SBA), and with home based business being one of the biggest growth sectors in the Western economy, it is crucial that every business has the support it needs to become a sustainable venture. That’s where we come in. Support a WAHP specialises in helping home based businesses grow into roaring success stories.

Social Media Marketing Analysis, Strategy and Management
So how did Support a WAHP gain more than 10,000 fans without harvesting any “likes”? Through smart, strategic and effective social media and content marketing. Now you can learn the keys to effective social media marketing for your home based business without wasting your time and energy on solutions that just don’t get results. We work together with you over a six month period to:
- build a community that promotes your business for you,
- run competitions and promotions from your Facebook page without contravening Facebook’s Promotional Guidelines,
- encourage your page visitors to “like” your page and keep coming back for more,
- integrate your social media with your traditional marketing, and
- build your mailing list.
With 98 percent of the internet population on Facebook, now is the time to ensure you claim your stake of the social media market. You can bet your competitors already are!
Step 1: Let’s meetup!
We arrange a meeting over Skype, phone or in person to get an overview of your business, look at what marketing you are doing right now, look at what you could be doing and establish some goal posts for where you want your businesses’ social media presence to be.
Step 2: Proposal
We develop a proposal based on your budget, your business needs and objectives.
Step 3: Audit and Strategic Framework
We do an indepth audit of your marketing, taking into account your analytics and insights on Facebook (if you are already established on Facebook) and undertake an analysis of all of your social media profiles, your website, and your content marketing (if you are currently doing this). Then we develop a strategic plan for your social media marketing.
Step 4: Implementation
We work with you to implement your social media strategy including setting up your social media marketing calendar, your profiles and welcome pages, other tabs, and photo strips. Together we work on building and sourcing relevant content for your website and your social media profiles. We teach you the ropes of Facebook etiquette and show you how to generate leads, maximise your productivity and results over a six month period.
Why six months?
Social media success does not happen overnight. Most home based businesses do not have the budget to hire a plethora of staff to do their social media for them, so we work in a way that teaches you core skills, builds your knowledge base and mentors you along the way. If you wish to outsource your social media management on a permanent basis, we can arrange a retainer.
Home Based Business Planning Workshop

By the end of this workshop you will walk out the door with a draft business plan which you can take home, flesh out and refine; and useable business branding, marketing and social media management ideas.

This is a no-hype, practical workshop which will empower you to:
- define your business goals,

Sessions are held via Skype call, skype chat if needed or Google+ Hangout. This is a great option for start up micro businesses that need some one-on-one mentoring on a casual basis.
